Description:
The Hammer Union FIG 200 is a high-performance, high-pressure union designed for the most demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. As part of the FIG 200 series, it is rated for 20,000 PSI and is commonly used in industries such as oil & gas, cementing, fracturing, and pressure testing.
This fitting consists of three primary components:
- Body – The main structural component, which houses the connection.
- Nut – Tightened to ensure a secure and leak-proof seal.
- Pin – Locks the union in place once it is tightened, preventing disconnection under pressure.
Hammer unions are designed to handle extreme pressures, and the FIG 200 is specifically engineered for 20,000 PSI service, which makes it ideal for critical operations where high-pressure fluid and gas transfer is required. The design of these unions allows for easy assembly and disassembly without the need for special tools, making them ideal for operations requiring frequent maintenance or temporary connections.
Made from forged steel, these unions provide a robust solution for connecting piping or equipment, particularly in industries where durability, high performance, and reliability are crucial. They are often used in applications like drilling, well services, oil & gas pipelines, and high-pressure hydraulic systems.
The seal inside these unions is typically made from durable materials such as rubber, PTFE, or composite compounds, ensuring a tight, leak-proof connection even under the most severe operational conditions.
Advantages:
- High Pressure Resistance: The 20,000 PSI rating makes this union suitable for extreme pressure applications.
- Durability and Strength: Built to last in harsh environments, with resistance to corrosion, wear, and temperature fluctuations.
- Ease of Maintenance: The design allows for fast connection and disconnection without the use of special tools, providing significant time savings during installation and repairs.
